I meant to....

Standing beside my grandfather's coffin, I overheard one person and then another say to my dad, " I meant to come by and see your dad". You see my grandfather was in a nursing home for a few months before he died. He didn't get very many visitors, besides family. He couldn't see, hear, or feel the people who "meant to" come visit him. These people said the same thing over and over. These were good, sweet, christian folk. We are just to busy, but not for our own good.

My husband went to see his grandmother tonight. It will probably be the last time he sees her on this side of eternity. He is grieving over his "meant to". She is under Hospice care as I write this. We were "so busy" as a family we did not visit as often as we would have liked. But we meant to....

What are we meaning to do? What has God called us to do that we are not doing? I had a friend on my heart for a week or so. I said a prayer for her but I did not call her. I meant to.... I got a text from her this morning, a plea for prayer. I will never be to busy to call someone on my heart again. I beg everyone who reads this to do what God puts on there hearts. If the Holy Spirit whispers in your ear to go visit someone, do it! I for one don't want to be the one in the funeral line saying, "I meant to go see them". Let's get busy about the things that are important to God, myself included.
